Strontium atom loses 2 electrons to become an ion with 2 electrons lesser than its atom. Your answer is C.
Answer:
It is present in the second group of the periodic table
Explanation:
To find the mass you need to find the weight of a mol of the molecules by adding up the atomic mass.
N = 14.007 g/mol
H = 1.008 g/mol
S = 32.065 g/mol
O = 16 g/mol
2(14.007) + 8(1.008) + 32.065 + 4(16) = 132.143 g/mol
Now you know how much an entire mol weight you multiply it by how much you actually have
0.00456 * 132.143 = 0.603 g
Knowing the ratio between atoms we can write an empirical formula:
<span>C4H6O </span>
<span>we compute the molar mass of this single formula: </span>
<span>4x12 + 6 x 1 + 16 x1 = 70 g / mol </span>
<span>Now, as we know the actual molar mas being 280 g/mol, we divide this number by 70 and we get the ratio between empirical formula and molecular actual formula: </span>
<span>280 / 70 = 4 </span>
<span>This means that actual molecular formula is: </span>
<span>(C4H6O)4 or </span>
<span>C16H24O4 </span>
